That paintwork looks absolutely stunning. I’m repairing my Son’s Racing Green replacing panels that someone who calls himself a ‘professional welder’ bodged up, and it will need a respray. The results on yours gives me some confidence to tackle the job myself
Thank you! Yes definitely give it a go I've always thought that if you give the paint a go yourself and it doesn't turn out great then you never in a worse of position than you started in! if that makes sense haha 😆
Wow😮that is absolutely awesome fella ⭐️well done pal. That looks so bloody professional. I’ve seen professional paint jobs on cars that don’t even look that good 🤩brilliant…….. And you got me. I’m now a subscriber 👍anyway that looks the dog’s danglers 😜great video keep up the amazing work buddy 👍A1
Great to see someone doing all theire own work and to a very high standard, unlike some so called enthusiasts who farm out all the jobs to professioal restorers and then try to claim the credit!! Have to agree about using appropriate respirator etc, A1 work, regards, Rob.
Wow you covered a lot of ground in 12:33, it’s worthy of a series! Reminds me of working with my dad on an old 1974 M reg mini we bought for £140… it had a bit more rust than your car, but was fun fixing and painting it at home. Congratulations on achieving such a decent job on a shoestring!
Thank you I really appreciate it! Yea they can be really rusty! I bought one once and buy the time I got home there was only half of it left on the trailer haha 😄 thank you
Started watching your videos on the VX220, but now watching and enjoying all of your videos. I just wish I had the patience to tackle a Classic Mini restoration. Your hundred quid paintwork looks fantastic.
Thanks Mike, haha yea I saw his video the other day and though I reackon it could be done cheaper 😄 hopefully it will all be being reassembled in the next one 🤞
Wow, that looks ace. I painted my Mini about 10 yrs ago, and it looked great, but I think I should’ve done more coats of lacquer. That spray gun looks a good investment 👍 loving following this build. I also have a Spitfire too, so I think you have good taste in cars 😃
Thank you very much! Oh really have you still got it? Yea the gun is good it's only a cheap one off ebay but works great for laquer! Ooo nice love a spitfire! Haha you wait until you see what I've just bought before you say I have good taste haha 😄 thanks
@@cashmachinecars yeah, still got both dude 👍😃 The 78 mini was my 1st car when I was 16, and the 65 Spitfire my 2nd project car when I was 18. I’m 45 now, & Many other cars come n gone since, but those 2 I managed to keep… I’m kinda attached now! Restored the Mini again completely 10 or so yrs ago, and the Spitfire is still good, but needs a bit of tlc. Both worth way more than my daily driver! 🤯
I'm pretty sure it was 'OSCCAR 910 2K CLEARCOAT' you can find it pretty cheap on eBay, I'm about to paint the new build on my channel and that's what I've re-ordered so I hope I'm right 🤣
@@cashmachinecars thanks mate - I shouldnt have skipped the part of the video where you kindly explained the materials used 🙏 silly me, looks great 👏 how did it fair days / months / years on?
I did think this, when I did a walk around of the car when I first got it you can see how out of shape one ofe the holes for the resr lights is and I found the snapped off boot hinges a bit suspicious haha 😄
Looks good matey, just wondering did u weld in the closing panels for the rear valance and just not show it? Or something to do in a future vid? Looks amazing for the money tho mate
That was a terrific job you did there. I like the satin finish first and then the clear coat over top idea. Any particular reason for using the satin as opposed to matt black? I’m guessing you avoided gloss black so you didn’t have to flat it down before the clear coat. Glad this popped up in my feed - will check out what else you’ve been up to. 👍🏻
Thank you 👍 To be honest I just guessed haha, I think when I've used proper base coats in the past they have a bit of a satin finish before you apply the lacquer. Thanks
How come you never spray the base paint with the air gun? Why don’t you Jimmy up a cover over your garage doors to create a indoor outdoor area if u know what I mean
Good question, I just had really bad reaction on the paint last time I sprayed basecoat with a gun I've always just had more luck with the cans and less gun cleaning haha 😂 yea I'm thinking of buying a tent to paint in?
@@cashmachinecars ha ha well from the camera you still gets decent finish I can see orange peel but that buff out, even brand new cars have orange peel and they are getting done by state of the art crap lol. You seem quite chilled laid back watched all your videos I like how you just get on with it. Have you done any kid of training or did you pick up a spanner and just learnt on the way
Agree about wearing a proper respirator, however, you have achieved a remarkable finish to be proud of. Doing your own welding, painting etc, is what restoring classics is all about, not giving a blank cheque to a professional and then claiming to have "restored it" yourself!! as some so called enthusiasts do.😊 Great work mate.
looks pretty good
Thats a great paint job, well done :)
Looks amazeing lovely work 👍👌
Thanks 👍
That’s remarkable. Great job.
Nice job mate.well done

Nice job mate 👍👍

That's a great result!

Looks a great job. Looking forward to seeing it finished 👍
Thanks it's coming together just acquiring all the bits I'm missing to assemble it 🙂
nice job, just shows what can be achieved with just hard work, well done that man
WOW What a stunning looking job. Well done.
Unreal paint job sick vid mate
Thank you 🙂
Looking good, you should feel proud of yourself
Thanks 🙂
Hi I've not seen your channel before.
Just a tip use high build filler primer preferably 2k will give you a cleaner surface more sharper.
Nice job 👏 👍

Thank you 👍 I'm painting the front of the vx220 today 🤞it goes as well as the mini!
Wow the car looks amazing well done 👍🏻. I wonder what Derek would make of it 🤔
Thank you!! Haha yes I might send him a link to it see if he looks at it 😄
@@cashmachinecars you never know 👍🏻
Just found your channel, great stuff and very enjoyable to watch 😊
Thank you very much 👍
Rollerpainting will be even cheaper , but more time consuming. Great result this!
Nice work, came out great especially given the conditions you were spraying in. 👍
Excellent job, love the vice grip reference ! youre working fast on that mini.
Thanks Mike, haha yea I saw his video the other day and though I reackon it could be done cheaper 😄 hopefully it will all be being reassembled in the next one 🤞
That is incredible mate! Well done!
Mate you absolutely smashed that! Nice work I completely get the bugs I was the same when I did our budget build.
Your channel is so good Harry! Love the vids. Absolutely smashed it with this one.
Another great video thank you. Really interesting you made it look easy. I suspect it wasn't!
Thank you! 😊 surprisingly one of the easiest paintjobs I've attempted haha
Nice work mate! Just the music...🤣

Hey bud new subscriber love the paint job, when can I book my mini in Hahaha
Hahaha thank you 😆
Can I ask what clear you used as the finish from the gun looks great.
I'm pretty sure it was 'OSCCAR 910 2K CLEARCOAT' you can find it pretty cheap on eBay, I'm about to paint the new build on my channel and that's what I've re-ordered so I hope I'm right 🤣
@@cashmachinecars thanks mate - I shouldnt have skipped the part of the video where you kindly explained the materials used 🙏 silly me, looks great 👏 how did it fair days / months / years on?
Actually a great job considering the conditions and cost! I’d be happy with that.
For me this is what its all about. Trying to find ways to make it work with a budget u can afford ..Café Racer vibe.
The boot panel may have not been in an accident similar on mine where it’s had rear scuttle and boot floor replaced and been done badly
I did think this, when I did a walk around of the car when I first got it you can see how out of shape one ofe the holes for the resr lights is and I found the snapped off boot hinges a bit suspicious haha 😄

I put a new back valance on a Mini once and the fit was just like you had and mine had NOT been in a shunt, it`s just how they are.

I had similar issues but you could do it even cheaper on a less windy day less spray wastage 😂
Sorry made this comment then you mentioned the windy day 😂
Haha yes that's definitely true reckon that would have saved me a can of black paint at least 😄
Funny when you see people getting the same results for 10 x the price, love a bargain!

When`s the next upload ?

These paints are really bad for your lungs. Should be wearing a respirator . Just friendly advice :)
